Chapter 45: King Wu is reversed
The sacrificial stove festival is the most solemn festival before the Shangyuan Festival, because on this day, the son of heaven has to burn the watch to declare the gains and losses of the year to the sky. All the nobles will also be re-ordained by the emperor on this day to show that their rule is under the orders of heaven.
The cumbersome etiquette made Yun Xiao miserable, but the envoys of the various vassal kings seemed to be even more miserable than Yun Xiao. Many feudal kings were given fiefdoms, the rich fiefs were given to the emperor's trusted blood relatives, and the barren lands were divided among those who were considered to have different intentions.
The kings of Zhao, Chu, and Wu were taken away, and Liu Qi's vigorous action to cut down the feudal domain began.
To Yun Xiao's surprise, in addition to issuing an order to seize the fiefdom. Chao Cuo, this scholar, didn't make any preparations, at least Yun Xiao didn't see any signs of movement of the empire's most warworthy northern army.
Yun Xiao looked at the two people who were singing double reeds on the top, and asked if these two brothers were too confident.
Chao Cuo didn't disturb Yun Xiao's consciousness of a stable life at all, and when he walked by Yun Xiao's side, he deliberately glared at Yun Xiao, and Yun Xiao made a look of indifference. This buddy only has less than two months to live, and in Yun Xiao's eyes, he is already dead, too lazy to bother with a dead man.
The trip to Chang'an still had gains, and the most important gain was that I was promoted. The internal history of the King of Jiaodong ordered that he was a high-ranking official of the third rank, and according to the law of the Han Dynasty, he could have fifty guards, and Yun Xiao was a marquis who could have thirty guards. In other words, Yun Xiao can now organize a private armed force of eighty people without violating the laws of the imperial court.
You must arm yourself quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to survive the massive Seven Kings Rebellion.
The Yunjia Zhuangzi was peaceful, without the slightest tension on the eve of the outbreak of war. The farmers who paid their wages and the Huns were very bulging in their pockets. Merchants with a developed sense of smell carried a burden and drove a cart to Yunjia Zhuangzi to sell their goods. This is rare in previous years, in which at most three or two merchants would jump their burdens and come to the village for a turn. It's not the same as the bustling bazaars now.
Yun Xiao instructed Lao Yu to send his family to maintain order, and those who littered and defecated everywhere would be whipped, and those who were shoddy or hurt the villagers would be thrown out with broken legs. A year's hard-earned money can't just be taken away.
The servants of the Yun family are killing pigs and sheep, and cattle cannot be killed publicly. The laws of the imperial court still could not be openly violated, but the day before Yun Xiao went home, the Yun family happened to be sick and died of two cows. For this Yunxiao, Lao Yu also beat Lao Yu's board, Lao Yu deeply repented for his dereliction of duty, and cried bitterly when he was beaten.
The scribe sent by Xianyang Ling looked at Yiqiē in front of him dumbfounded, he didn't understand very much, the stick with thick noodles had any effect on the butt in addition to dusting the robe. Lao Yu can cry so realistically that he can really be called an acting school, but Xianyang Ling has orders, no matter what. The Yun family's cattle died of illness. If there is difficulty, you will die, and if you have no difficulty, you will die.
There is a marquis in the jurisdiction who is so favored by the emperor is the misfortune of all the magistrates, even if he does not bully men and women, he must at least fish his own households.
Yun Xiao's obedience made Xianyang Ling feel a little too much. It's just that if you are young, you don't rob the people's daughters, and I heard that you don't even go to **. The villagers who are not good fish and meat do their duties as nobles, but they pay wages to those lowly farmers. Two cows died of illness, and anyway, there were more than 200 cows in the Yun family.
In short, the Yun family's Zhuangzi is now a harmonious society. The most ordinary farmers can sell two taels of wine when they go home, and they can also fry a few side dishes.
It was not new for a sturdy peasant woman to walk on a pig's hind leg, and the scribe had seen a standard woman carrying half a fan of pork to greet her neighbors.
Xianyang Ling listened to the scribe's return, and felt that this small day was more comfortable than himself.
The servants of the Yun family are very busy now, and the cauldron that can allow the bear to bathe is set up next to the chicken coop, and it is full of boiling water. Several big men rushed into the chicken pen, like a pack of weasels, caught one of the necks and threw them into the pot.
Canglan carried a saber and looked at the big fat pig tied like a dumpling. The big pig's head was cut off with the knife in his hand, and he was smiling and praising the sharpness of the saber. The chickens and dogs that were chased by Yun Xiao with a stick jumped, and the front and back yards were scurrying.
Damn, I don't want to eat blood sausage.
Everyone was happily preparing for the New Year, except for the disciples of the Gongpai by the river. After the halogenation reaction, the molten steel with plant ash and carbon removal is added and is smelted by a furnace. The sledgehammer was shirtless, laboriously forging the steel billet.
The standard saber is one meter and two long, seven centimeters wide, thick back and thin blade, and is a unique weapon of cavalry. Yunxiao needed to build eighty of them in two months. More than 30 disciples worked day and night, and the old man had already given a death order, and the task of the moment must be completed.
"Juzi, aren't we impatient like this? Will the princes really rebel? ”
The old man looked at the somewhat haggard faces of the disciples of the Labor School and asked Yun Xiao.
"As long as the will to deprive the fief reaches the fief of King Wu, King Wu will rebel. Yuzhang's copper mountain minted copper coins every year, all say that half of the world's copper coins are minted by King Wu. Huiji's salt making is also a capitalless business that makes money every day, both of which are the lifeblood of King Wu, and the emperor's will will be withdrawn. How can King Wu, who has raised hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, be willing, and how can he raise these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses?
And not only the king of Wu will rebel, the king of Chu, the king of Zhao, the king of Jiaodong, and the king of Jibei. These princes who govern the army and govern the people will be opposed. If you think about how huge the momentum is, I, the marquis, will naturally be called to participate in the war. I didn't have any hole cards in my hand, how could I come back alive from the battlefield. Luckily, we've got a hundred and ten of them like iron-tired crossbows. Ten of the three-bow bed crossbows were also made. Otherwise, even if these disciples are exhausted, it will be difficult to complete the task. ”
The sledgehammer came over with a freshly made saber and said, "Look at it." ”
Yun Xiao took the saber, and the sharp blade was unusually smooth, exuding a breathtaking glow unique to cold weapons. He handed it to Canghu and pointed to the stake in the distance. The tiger turned over and swung his saber at an accelerated impact, and a wooden stake the thickness of the bowl was cut in half.
"With the charge of war horses, the cavalry can easily cut the infantry in two with the help of horsepower, which is the advantage of cavalry."
"That's also the moment that invented something like a stirrup, otherwise the person on the horse would never be able to wield a saber so calmly."
"The three-edged spear tip has to be cast somewhat, at least three hundred rods. Each of these Huns should be equipped with at least three guns, and the javelins of the three-bow bed crossbow should also be prepared. When the time comes, we're going to consume a lot of these things. ”
"That's fine, it's all cast. The model can find some finished products and pour the mold, which will not cost a lot of manpower. ”
"If you sweat more at this time, we will have more protection in wartime. Let's go and see how Batu's training goes. ”
Batu is leading sixty-eight of his clansmen to train at the foot of the mountain. The Huns, who had been trained to ride war horses for a long time, had grown up on horseback since childhood, and soon mastered these skills.
The training for the cavalry charge ran into some troubles, and the poorly supplied Huns did not have the habit of stabbing their opponents and letting go in any case. Many twisted their wrists as they clutched their guns.
"Batuu, what's wrong?"
"My masters, they are still not used to giving up their weapons after striking a target. You must know that in the grassland, weapons are the life of a warrior, and no grassland people will throw away their weapons. ”
Batu's Chinese is already very fluent, at least Yun Xiao is not very difficult to hear.
"The cavalry hedged, we had stirrups freeing our hands, so we could use spears. They didn't have stirrups and had to control the reins with one hand, so they had to use only swords. This is our advantage, but the force of the impact is great, and the spear will remain in the enemy's body. If the spear is not abandoned, our people will break their wrists.
You know, our opponents are living people, not these dead scarecrows. If you really fight, no matter how thick your wrist is, it will definitely break, not as simple as spraining it now. You must explain this to your people, and if you don't want to be crippled, you can stab your opponent and throw away the spear for me.
I'll equip each of you with at least three rifles, so you don't have to worry about running out of weapons. ”
"Thank you, my master, and I will do my best to train my people. The master should not ask, are you in such a hurry that there will be a war soon? ”
"Maybe, something is going to happen after all."
Yun Xiao did not reveal the upcoming Rebellion of the Seven Kings to Batu, as a foreigner, it is not good for him to know too much, these Huns drink too much but say anything.
"In two days, it will be the festival of our Han family, go to Lao Yu to get a hundred sheep and fifty jars of steamed wine, and after a year of hard work, this is the reward of the main family for you."
Batu knelt on the ground and thanked the head of the family for his generosity, and the Huns had a special love for the Yun family's steamed wine. Being able to drink the steamed wine of the Shangyun family is the best reward for these Huns.
The dusty court envoy finally arrived in the capital of King Wu, because he was the last to arrive because of the long distance. Because of the lack of information, he didn't know that the other messengers had all been detained. Just wait for news from him along the way, and the princes will do something.
The excited King Wu looked at the messenger in front of him who was getting closer and closer.
"Fifty years after my death, there will be a rebellion in the southeast, it shouldn't be you."
Gaozu Liu Bang's words seemed to be still echoing in his ears, and in a blink of an eye, less than fifty years later, he was reversed. has finally come to this point, and if you don't rule the world, you will die and the clan will be wiped out. There are only these two ways to go, Liu Bi licked his tongue bloodthirsty.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Wu."
The envoys bowed down and were meticulous in their manners.
"You're here to cut my ground?"
"Summoned, cut the two counties of Wu Wang Yuzhang and Huiji."
"Hahaha, what if the old man doesn't follow?"
"King Wu, you dare to resist the order."
"What has the king resisted? Whoever cuts off his king's land, his head will be cut off. Come on, take it, cut off this head sacrifice flag. ”
"There is no way today, and I am Liu Bi the opposite."
